  1. Rear Sprocket Flew Off On Freeway 19 Feb 2013 20:15 I assume you'll be replacing the front sprocket as well? I am surprised nothing got eaten up. I heard/felt a sudden 'snap', and immediately pulled the clutch in. I noticing a part falling back in my mirror.. I thought…
  2. Rear Sprocket Flew Off On Freeway 18 Feb 2013 19:15 So my rear sprocket flew off on the freeway yesterday. Right along with the sprocket carrier. Looks like the nut got loose but didn't notice it.. Was going 80mph when it happened, luckily I had enough momentum to coast…
  3. It's almost sexual 13 Dec 2010 23:37 Here's a similar video of a CBX... This guy's no slouch. That's his buddy is following on a Kaw ZXR750. This was taped back at '95 at the Isle of Manx.

  5. De-smogging a 4th gen (CA) 2 Sep 2010 20:44 I'm thinking of de-smogging my 4th gen. Does anybody know the best procedure to go by? What to remove/unplug? Are there any cavets? Like any smog part that's connected to it's normal running?. I have a California bike;…
  6. 3rd gen twin turbo snippet 27 Aug 2010 22:57 [image: Posted Image] saw this scan of a magazine clipping. Apparently it's a 3rd gen VFR with a twin turbo. It's not in english (it looks Scandinavian), but what I can surmise is that it's 300hp(??) anyone know…
  7. easiest weight reduction mods? 25 Aug 2010 16:24 Oh yeah you're the 16 year old newbie. In that case I wouldn't worry about the VFR's weight until you've gotten some experience down. The VFR's (6th gen and below) are around 500lbs or so, which is about average for a…
  8. easiest weight reduction mods? 24 Aug 2010 21:40 Install a supercharger. It won't reduce any weight but it'll swing the power-to-weight ratio WAY UP.

  10. Best thing to smoothen abs plastic 26 Jun 2010 04:42 So I'm trying to primer a replacement left rear panel for my 4th gen. It's an OEM part I got from a junkyard, but some work has already been done to it since there's a white primer-like layer already on it.. Anyways,…

  14. Single front brakes conversion on 4th gen 1 Jun 2010 15:42 hmm does a Hawk GT 650 front rim fit a 4th gen vfr? :)
  15. Single front brakes conversion on 4th gen 1 Jun 2010 15:37 Ok now I think it's a bad idea... mostly from what V4 Rosso says about it being designed for 1-disc vs not. I came to thinking this from an emergency stop perspective; the brakes will heat up twice as much for the same…
  16. Single front brakes conversion on 4th gen 1 Jun 2010 12:43 I'm thinking of converting my front brakes from dual disc to single disc, mostly for aesthetics, since I'm stripping and polishing my rims and want more of it to 'show'. I'm no engineer but I do know that the brakes…
  17. 4th gen tail section made into one piece 21 May 2010 18:34 This looks awesome. I want to do this as well... I've had my tail section fall apart after 40K miles... once a single fastener gets loose on the back it rattles apart rather quickly :(. Right now I held it together…
